AP-555 ARINC-429 DataPHY Data Recorder

AP-555

The AP-555 ARINC-429 DataPHY records ARINC-429 data-bus traffic from avionics equipment. Recorded data can be securely shared with other equipment, either in real-time, or post flight. In a 1 by 2 by 3 inch enclosure it is the world's smallest avionics data collection system.

Within a very small form factor, the ARINC-429 DataPHY contains four ARINC-429 receivers, a Gigabit Ethernet interface, an 802.11ac WiFi Radio, an integrated antenna, and 120 GB of local storage.

Software applications are provided by the integrated SystemX Operating System which includes dozens of networking, cybersecurity, data collection, configuration management, and application hosting features.

The size and weight of the DataPHY facilitates a large number of installation options. As a Transport Canada Approved Manufacturing Organization CCX Technologies can provide all documentation required to obtain the relevant certifications so that the AP-555 to be installed on any aircraft.

Applications

The AP-555 is primarily intended to be used as a data recorder but with a customized version of the SystemX Operating System the AP-555 also supports many of the networking, security, data collection and management, and application hosting features provided by SystemX.

Avionics Data Recording

Data collected by the AP-555 DataPHY can be shared with other SystemX based equipment and monitored as part of an Avionics Intrusion Detection System ,FDM/FOQA System, or preventative maintenance systems.

Data can also be shared with third-party equipment and systems, either during a flight, or post-flight, using a secure API.

Electronic Flight Bag Data Source

The AP-555 can be used to collect data from ARINC-429 interfaces, or from additional CCX Technologies DataPHY Data Recorders and forward the data to EFB software running on a connected Tablet.
